Equipment has gone missing at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, according to the following internal e-mail (The State Worker has redacted the name of the person who sent the notice):

The Emergency Evacuation Planning Committee is trying to locate and retrieve 18 radios and 19 chargers that are missing from the CDCR Emergency Evacuation Team inventory. This equipment is necessary for effective communication among team members during emergency evacuations. Please review the attached flyer. If you have any of these devices in your area please contact me or deliver them to my office. It will be appreciated if these items can be collected by Friday, November 5th.
